Six months after Drift hack: only $9.2M frozen of $295M stolen

  • —The April 1, 2026 Drift Protocol hack cost users roughly $295 million
  • —Only about $9.2 million has been frozen; the bulk remains out of reach
  • —About 130,259 ETH was bridged, with 23,094 ETH sent to Tornado Cash on July 23
  • —Investigators link the attack to North Korean groups UNC4736 and UNC6862
Why it matters: Recovery will take years and much of the loss may never be returned to affected Drift users.
